Migrating OX5 Rules and Settings

To migrate existing rules and settings from the Windows-based OX5 engine, a script can be run after installing and enabling the Next-Generation engine. All rules will continue to work after the upgrade but will be migrated to Next-Generation smart alerts, which will trigger within 5 seconds. Note that this is a one-way migration, and you cannot reverse this migration.

The name of the script is: Migrate_Rules_to_NextGen_Engine.bat and it is located at: C:\Program Files\BriefCam\PostgreSQL\Tools\Setup.
